Yet another Yank flag waver
Watch while he moans about 2,832 dead American soldiers (trained killers), and rants about how wonderful America is (George W says it's the "Greatest Country on Earth", and Olberman sounds like he agrees). Mr Olberman: what about the 650,000 - 900,000 Iraqi people who have been killed? OK, let's forget about it and Support Our Troops.
Sure, the guy's heart is possibly in the right place, but does he have a passport?
Mr Olberman, we in the rest of the world don't want to hear one more bloody word about American patriotism and your fine country's 'Founding Fathers'. We have had it up to here. We are sick to death of it, from 1940s Andrew Hardy movies to The Simpsons. To wildly paraphrase your countryman, Bruce Springsteen, we are 'Bored With the USA'. If it is not too much for the rest of us (the other 191 nations on earth) to hope for, we want to hear, yes, even from American liberals, something that seems connected to the Planet Earth. The Repugs will never do it. We need USA liberals to come on board with the rest of us.
We live here too, mate. We live here too. And we all think we live in the "Greatest Country on Earth", but most of us try not to overdo it.
